here is a genuine split of
possibilities displayed in
this year’s main biomass
technology feature, not to mention
the two associated Operation Focus
articles.
We have said for a number
of years the capacity issues with
chipping solutions, while still
important, have taken a backseat
to other industry-led demands of
manufacturers.
This year, we look at six distinct
suppliers taking their own views
on how the chipping industry is
moving, looking to get ahead and
meet demand with their latest
generation of units.
Peterson has concentrated their
business on high-volume, easy to
move machines, which have been
popular in both land clearing and
traditional biomass applications.
Peterson believes their focus on
chip quality and superior knife life
has made a significant difference
for customers utilizing their
products.
They continue to evolve
their biomass chipper product
line, with significant changes to
their smallest drum chipper, the
3300-series machines.
“In 2018 we introduced both
the 3310B tracked drum chipper,
and for those who need an option
with traditional wheels, we have
introduced the 3300B drum
chipper” said Michael Spreadbury,
Marketing Manager for Peterson.
“The 3300B-series was repackaged
again, to significantly reduce the
size of the machine, while not
compromising performance”.
“Peterson also added a
retractable powered feed deck for
short wood applications (less than
3-meter wood), and that has been
a popular option for machines for
